Al Hoceima’s Grande Stadium was officially opened on 18th November 2024 when Comoros defeated Madagascar 1-0 in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

Situated in the Ait Kamra Commune in El Hociema, a province in the region of Tanger-Tetouan-AlHoceima, the stadium covers 20 hectares and has international standards for safety and comfort.

The stadium has a seating capacity of 11,000. It features a high-quality natural grass pitch, advanced lighting systems, huge screens, electronic advertising panels, and the latest sound technologies.

The venue also includes a 200-seat press conference room, a VIP lounge, two spacious locker rooms for players, and designated areas for match officials and observers. The venue also prioritizes accessibility, offering a 2,500-vehicle parking area.

Ghana sits second in Group I and has the same points (9) as group leaders (Comoros), who lead only on goal difference.

Madagascar are two points behind leaders Comoros after amassing an impressive seven points. The minnows travel to the Central Africa Republic before hosting Ghana in Morocco in round 6.
